Numbers 24:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Then Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, ‘I summoned you to curse my enemies, but instead you have blessed them these three times. ¹¹ Now be off with you! Go home! I said, “I will reward you richly”, but the Lord has denied you any reward.’
